Ferrellgas Partners Announces Resignation of Chief Financial Officer
January 27 2015 - 04:00PM
Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:FGP) today announced that Ryan
VanWinkle has resigned as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer to pursue other opportunities.
"Ryan VanWinkle has played a key role in helping Ferrellgas grow
both operationally and financially," said Steve Wambold,
Ferrellgas' President and Chief Executive Officer. "He has worn a
lot of hats for us over the years, driving our diversification
efforts and helping establish our midstream operations. We
appreciate his contributions and wish him well in the future."
Until an internal and external executive search process can be
completed, Senior Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations
Alan Heitmann, a 20-year veteran of the company, has agreed to
serve as its Chief Financial Officer. "Our search for a new CFO
will be quick, but thorough," said Wambold. "In Al, Ferrellgas is
fortunate to have an experienced hand at the wheel to guide our
financial operations in the near term."
Further, Todd Soiefer, Senior Vice President of Strategic
Development, will now report directly to Wambold. This shift will
further streamline Ferrellgas' already aggressive pursuit of
accretive opportunities outside of its core propane line of
business.
"I'm honored to have served as Ferrellgas' Chief Financial
Officer," said VanWinkle. "And I am proud of what we have
accomplished over the last 15 years. Ferrellgas has a bright
future, and I wish the team all the best."
Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., through its
operating partnership Ferrellgas, L.P. and subsidiaries, serves
